I colored my image with Copic markers...love how you can shade so effortlessly with Copics! This photo is a little blurry on the closeup...again, not my fault, it's the camera's!
Here we go, this one's better. I cut my image out with a new Spellbinder's die and layered it onto my patterned paper background. Love those polka dots! I added buttons and a flower for embellishments.
And here's the bottom of the card, all tied up pretty with a Papertrey Spring Moss ribbon and an adorable Spellbinder's ribbon slide tag. I love it! The sentiment words are from Papertrey.
I love the idea of making teacher cards a bit more sophisticated than the typical primary colored cards. My girls are in middle school now...I still love to send stuff for the teachers but this type of card seems a little more grown up for the girls to give. Hope you enjoy and wish me luck today!

Very pretty card! The detail on the bowl is gorgeous!
Geez, I know I don't need that Apples stamp, but of course I want it now! I can't wait to get my hands on those Spellbinders dies. I'm jealous of course! Hope you have a great weekend...thanks for sharing that beautiful card.
Stunning!
Ohhh gracious! What could possibly be sweeter than this? Darling and my favorite, favorite color too.

I hope this pesky substitute teaching gig does not interfere with your stamping. That would just be so wrong!! BTW, cuter than cute card.
What a super darling card Mish. I love how you colored the bowl. It's definitely an elegant twist for a teacher's card.
Great Card Mish! Have fun at school today ! :)
Great card!!!
beautiful! I bet you are the student's favorite sub!!
I start a new full time job at the school Monday as a paraeducator. I haven't worked full time for 20 years and am more than a little nervous. Ü
Fabulous card. I love the image and the coloring. The patterned paper works perfectly.
What a great card! I can hardly wait until these die's are available!!
Michelle,
Really gorgeous and soooo thoughtful to put teacher tags on them! I love what you share with us every time!
You are so thoughtful to do this wonderful card... Beautiful, too, I might add. As a former teacher I always appreciated the thoughtful notes that parents sent. I still have my shoebox of them. I can't throw them away...Some go back to 1976. Ha Ha.
Good luck with your substituting. Again, I appreciated all my subs. It can be a challenging position.
